Dear Fellow Fighters,

Ah, summer vacation—the time when kids are full of energy and parents are running on caffeine and dreams of a tropical getaway. As the founder of Fight Club for Women, I understand the struggles of keeping our little ones entertained while maintaining our own sanity. Fear not, my fellow warriors, for I am here to arm you with a battle plan that will help you conquer the summer months with a smile on your face (and a little laughter in your heart).

1. The Great Outdoors - Nature is Your Ally: Send the kids out to explore the wilderness in your own backyard. Equip them with binoculars and a camera, and let them play nature photographers. You'll be amazed at the critters they capture, and you might even have a budding National Geographic photographer in your midst!

2. Mini Master Chefs - Bon Appétit!: Let your kids take over the kitchen (under your watchful eye, of course) and unleash their culinary creativity. Get ready for some experimental dishes, like peanut butter and pickle sandwiches or spaghetti topped with marshmallows. Hey, even if it tastes strange, you can always call it avant-garde cuisine!

3. Camp Indoors - The Great In-Tents Adventure: Transform your living room into a cozy campsite. Pitch a makeshift tent, grab some sleeping bags, and tell spooky stories by flashlight. If the weather isn't cooperating, don't let that dampen your spirits—improvise, adapt, and turn your home into a fortress of fun!

4. Creative Chaos - Picasso, Watch Out!: Set up an art station where your little ones can unleash their inner Picassos. Provide them with a variety of art supplies, and let their imagination run wild. Don't be surprised if you find yourself in awe of their abstract masterpieces!

5. Scavenger Hunts - The Quest for Sanity: Design a scavenger hunt that will keep your kids occupied for hours. Hide treasures around the house or in the backyard, and create a series of clues that will lead them on an epic adventure. Who knows, you might even discover some long-forgotten items during the search!

Remember, fellow fighters, laughter is the best armor in the war against summer boredom. Embrace the chaos, treasure these moments, and above all, never forget to take some time for yourself. Sneak in a bubble bath, indulge in a guilty pleasure novel, or even host your own mom's night out (virtual or in-person). After all, a happy momma means happy kids!

So, as the summer days stretch out before you, arm yourself with creativity, a sense of humor, and an extra-large dose of patience and a good bottle of wine!!! You've got this, supermoms!

Stay strong, stay sane, and keep fighting the good fight!

Yours playfully,

Rosanne Santos Founder of Fight Club for Women

3. Discard the solids and pour the strained watermelon juice back into the blender.

4. Add the cold water to the blender and blend briefly to mix everything together.

5. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or tanginess by adding a little more lime juice if desired.

6. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the watermelon mint cooler over the ice.

7. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a wedge of lime, if desired.

8. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing and healthy drink!

This watermelon mint cooler is a great way to stay hydrated during hot summer days while enjoying the natural sweetness of watermelon and the cooling effect of fresh mint. Cheers!
